If you listen to Democrats these days, you will hear moaning about the deep cuts that Trump’s administration gives International Development Agency of United States (USAID). The lives will be lost, insisted.
But curiously, outside the United States, there was a deafening silence about this huge shift in the way America undergo funding of different projects around the world and even some support for changes from the unlikely districts.
Take President Rwanda, Paul Kagama, who shocked his CNN interlocutor This week, speaking to a reduction of USAIDs: “President Trump has unconventional ways to deal with things. I completely agree with him.” When he was pressed on the support of the people of his nation, he could lose, he replied, “We could learn some lessons.”
How USAID woke up and destroyed
The point that Kagama creates, which is wise, is that Africa must be self -sufficient, not permanently needed by the state of global client forces, including America. USAID and State Department are most of about $ 70 billion a year to help USA, but much of the USAID financing is transmitted directly to different groups and projects that may or may not be aligned with the recipient government.
In Hungary, President Viktor Orban went a step further than welcomed Trump’s USAIDs. His nation makes him illegal that many anti -government organizations accept foreign help from our country.
What began as an opportunity to spread the basic American ideals of freedom and democracy into an anti -democratic attempts to influence political changes in other nations bordering imperialism.
“Now is the moment when these international networks have to be demolished, they must be removed,” Orban said this week, claiming that the US side were aid to help in attempts to “demolish” their government.
Orban has a point. Between, for example, the performance value of the US value of free printing printing by funding Hungarian news and the disturbance of the Hungarian elections, especially if news is basically the mouth for the opposition party.

President El Salvadora, Nayib Bukele, awarded Orban’s assessment in the X post in which he wrote that most nations do not want help. “Although it is marketed in support of development, democracy and human rights, most of these funds have been transferred to opposition groups, non -governmental organizations with political programs and destabilizing movements.”
The US side help serves two basic purposes. The first is economic: we buy a certain amount of loyalty from our countries with our Largesse, as well as an eventual approach to their markets.
The second is informative: we get a megaphone that will try to make these nations more like America and less like China.
USAID is an independent agency founded by President John F. Kennedy, but President Trump went to put him under State Secretary Marco Rubio. Although Rubio has the proposed deep cuts of staffHe convinced Americans that an important, rescue, economic assistance, which is in line with the interests of America, protect his department. And a little claims that we should simply close the medical clinic or stop sending mosquito nets to Africa.
Even Kagama predicts that his continent was taken away from the need for foreign aid and not very cold turkey.
No, where the real problem is at the information purpose of foreign assistance. What began as an opportunity to spread the basic American ideals of freedom and democracy into an anti -democratic attempts to influence political changes in other nations bordering imperialism.
Furthermore, the lateral order of the WoKeness that comes with the American foreign assistance these days, in areas such as sex and sexuality, are not just undesirable in many third world nations, but can actually establish the natural evolution of these societies towards greater tolerance.

It is currently difficult to understand what changes are brought to the side of help. In addition to the dramatic removal of the names of agencies on buildings and announced dismissals, it is not clear what help we keep and what we are deployed.
Ultimately, he ruined the one who was in charge of the foreign help and future of USAIDs. Its responsibility is to separate the wheat from the port, the programs that save the lives and improvement of American interests, as opposed to those guided by partisan ideology.

What is not acceptable to the American people, or seem to many global leaders, that the US side assistance continues with the status quo. Trump has been chosen to make specific changes in how we influence and communicate with the world.
Trump and Rubio deserved and deserved this opportunity to dramatically change and repair the aspect of our foreign policy that breaks for decades, which has lost sight of its mission and has often caused more harm than benefits.
This can be a new age for the US side help and much more successful.
